Haha Contracts!

Bonobo Press. One can only wonder what kind of material they publish. And Journalist Lee wants to work for them?

Posted by butters @ 11:58 PM

hey there's no valid contract here.
you obtained this information after mary o'kinky tortured the 'insider', however, you did not return anything of value or alleviate any detriment to bonobo press. therefore it does not pass the test of consideration.
also mary o'kinky exerted undue duress on the 'insider', therefore the contract is not enforcible. however, charlie cannot sue due to the doctrine of privity to contract.
however, relational theorists argue that we don't enter into contracts expecting to sue others if there is a breach.
how does that relate to anything?
ask charles fried who developed the promise principle.

i'm having a mental diarrhea. somebody get me a section 52 of the trade practices act.

Posted by john @ 11:17 PM

The opportunity to torture the insider was created by officals at Bonobo Press. Mary O' Kinky simply took up the opportunity.

Posted by Bonobo @ 9:40 PM

Bonobo Press!
I have always wanted to work for them

Posted by IONize @ 5:18 PM

so the mary o'kinky must have been an opportunist, creating an opportunity to torture the 'insider' for these figures.

Posted by john @ 1:14 AM

Are you an opportunist?

80% of the world's population waits for opportunities to come, and misses them when they do come.
19% of the world's population takes up opportunites when they come.
0.99% of the world's population seek out opportunities.
0.01% of the world's population creates opportunities.

It has been extensively tested through statistical trend analyses, that success varies exponetially with the opportunist scores. Correlation r=0.98.
Officials have been reluctant in the past to release the above figures. They feared that it may induce a motivational 'kick' in 80% of the world's population, causing excess demand on the limited supply of opportunities created by 0.01% of the world's populations.

Yesterday however, Mary O' Kinky, African correspondent of Bonobo Press, was able to exert multiple attacks on the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions on an insider. The insider finally gave in after hours of torture, and released the above statistical figures.

exams, here is an example of the fun things we learn in Life (2101) -
exrcept from The cAMP cascade -

cAMP phosphorylates Protein Kinase A, which becomes activated and in turn activates Phosphorylase Kinase by hte same method, phosphorylation. The now phosphorylatedPhosphoylase Kinase phosphorylyses inactive Phosphorylase b to active Phosphorylase a. Phosphorlylase a phosphorylates Glycogen to for Glucose-6-Phosphate which is then transformed into Glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase.

The many interpretations of a simple statement by changing emphasis on different words: "I didn't tell him you killed his wife"

I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife
I didn't tell him you killed his wife

Hence chat programs such as ICQ would always be limited in understanding a person because it renders the absence of prosodic features in verbal language

A shocking phenomenon:

A woman in New York got raped and stabbed to death inches away from her apartment.
Over 30 people witnessed the situation and none did anything to stop it, even dialling 911.
Each apparently assumed that others would have done it.
Social psychologists explained the situation as one of diffusion of responsibility, where groups divide total responsibility among their members whereas an individual alone in such situations would take up 100% of the responsiblity.

So next time one of us get caught up in situations, do something.

Practising theory makes perfect.

Posted by butters @ 7:44 PM

the only reasons why a theory does not work in practice is because the theory is incomplete, erroneous, or unsound.

Posted by john @ 6:34 PM

This may be obvious in theory but rarely gets implemented in practice:

What do you mean what happened with the prize money?
It was split equally between 2nd and 3rd since there was not 2nd and 3rd playoff...
And yes Yi... You would have sooo beaten me if there was no windows key...

I'm saying, Jon-dear, that if Hsin-Chu didn't leave me to get my ass totally whooped and if Charlie was there to add a little rumble to the mix, things might have turned out a lot different.

Same goes with if Darren didn't leave and if Fish turned up.

Posted by butters @ 5:42 PM

haha no Charlie, download the movie, don't just look at the pic.
The movie Charlie the movie!
(though yes the plane is nice)

and no Solaris = "Sean" = Kiril = 'ozzie' looking bloke, and the Asian one is Anthony, a cse dude.

"James won. Who knows what would have happened the players in the bracket all played their part..." ?
That doesn't make sense to me....?

Why do i see 5 dollar notes? You guys were gambling? damn I missed that.
shot 1168: I recognise 9 out of 11 people in the picture! That's 82% recognition rate of people from another university who's also into star! Now that's popularity! Or I would like to think so. Anyway, who's the other two fanatics? I'm guessing the asian looking one on the far left is solaris and the Ozzie looking block is Christina?

Johno, it's selective attention. Cells in your brain just so happen to be tuned to plane-like objects.

Psychologists study the minds of all, including scientists and engineers.

You guys trusted bennie with the prize money? Should've known better.

So true...

Hey you didn't write that
Not that you said you did either.

How did you come across this information?!

Just something you learn in the field, James?
(oh come on now....spy game)

A lot of that actually makes variance...I mean sense.

haha Kwong, Falcon 4.0

Posted by IONize @ 1:33 AM

Hey I like his explanation of Merovingian.

Posted by butters @ 1:15 AM

Best explaination for the Matrix so far:
I am not sure if to many people truly understand what this movie is actually saying, so I will try to explain it for those that don't get what they just saw.

The first thing I recommend is that you try to remove your ego, people all have them - so they believe that the movie must be about people. But actually it is about software and mainframe code.

The main computer has been caught in a loop cycle for 5 iterations, and it is trying to find a variance that will break this cycle by utilizing a random bit anomaly piece of software (Neo), to allow it to fully complete its cycle. It has tried this before, but has always failed and in its attempts.

It is trying to factor in all variables of its program to make absolute sure of complete success before it attempts to actually implement the complete procedure, like an good piece of software (debugging iteself - "it is the why that is important").

Beta software waiting to go gold. The only factor that was not counted on was an anomaly of two programs intersecting and one becoming a self-replicating virus bent on absolute destruction (Smith), and the anomoly (Neo) complementing his program with protectorate software. This is a brilliant movie, that once you wrap your head around, is really just an ultimate version of Tron with no human watchers (Jeff Bridges), of a computer SuperNoc running through a simulation with all possible factors being worked first, before it initializes the program for real.

If Neo completes his role and meets his ultimate purpose as software, then our hero allows the computer to see all variances that it will need to contend with, so that it can fully implement the real program on our world.

Matrix - main base operating system.

Zion - secondary operating system for software that can no longer can function in main sytem - but can be utilized to build new a matrix system.

Morpheus and crew - collector programs for mainframe to try to enable the end of the loop cycle.

Architect - Mainframe operating system.

Oracle - old Macro Software that has been part of all 5 iterations of the loop and can see all variances.

Oracle's Protector, Seraph - Mainframe hard code software.

Merovingian - old Neo that did not fully implement objective in beta 5.0.

Merovingian's wife - Old Trinity code.

Twins, and Merovingian's guards - old base black ice protector code.

Head Counselor in Zion - Advisor for Mainframe that advises Neo along his upgrade to not touch the main bios (engineering) systems.

Key Maker - come on now, too easy, a simple keygen.

Smith - self-replicating virus - now capable of moving to either system � infused with anomaly code from Neo.

I truly loved this movie and it is so amazingly deep compared to the first if you know what it really happening. I hope this helps anyone who walked out of the theater like 95% of the crowd I saw it with, scratching their heads thinking, "What the f**K, that was stupid I don�t get it."

I am stating that what I am saying is absolute, but if you watch the movie and listen to what they all truly are saying it seems pretty obvious. Be wary all, your hero is our destruction, enjoy � All your base are belong to us.

i find you both guilty of obstructing the course of justice.
you are therefore sentenced to make up, forgive, and forget.

[11:57] tucoti: well...
if it was the last case, then i won't be of ANY assistance no matter i am Jesus or Mohammad
[11:57] Lucy G: forget it
[11:57] tucoti: oooh crap.
don't tell me it IS the last case????
[11:58] tucoti: seriously though...
is it the last case???
[11:59] Lucy G: i am not even going to bother justifying u with a response
[12:01] tucoti: lol

/me puts lucy on the "please.. don't joke with me at all. i ain't the type to take a joke List."

now that we have got that out of the way, and if you still think you may need some help, then ask. if not, then good luck.

thanks for ur generous offer, id rather ask someone else
[12:07] tucoti: i didn't knock anyone's religion.
all i said was "[11:57] tucoti: well...
if it was the last case, then i won't be of ANY assistance no matter i am Jesus or Mohammad"
as you can see, i was being very fare. i guess i could have listed Budha and what the Hindu god's name is but i just didn't think about them.
if you didn't notice, Mohammad was also mentioned (might be wrong spelling.. ). the point OBVIOUSLY was that if it was the last case, then no one, not even a saint (god's son in this case) or a god himself (Mohammad, god in the Muslim's sense) will be able to help.

take what i wrote to any atheist or even anyone who isn't THAT bloody sensitive about their religion (i don't know why you are this way though.. maybe insecurity??) and they will tell you that it was a religious remark at all.

and btw, for your information, that WAS a religious remark.
[12:07] tucoti: it wasN'T a religious remark at all.
[12:08] Lucy G: yi
i dont care

[12:08] tucoti: LOL
please.
if you want to take it like that, go for it.
as i said, not my assignment, not my marks, and now, not my religion.
[12:09] tucoti: btw, this is going on the blog.
check for integrity if you wish.
[12:10] Lucy G: go ahead :)
ill be glad to comment
[12:10] tucoti: great.

Isn't it often the case that we know what the problem (eg blog is dying) is, the cause (i'm too busy to post a msg), what's the solution for it is(post more and more often), but don't implement them?

Sunday, June 01, 2003

Having studied the Psychology of Perception for 6 weeks, I must say I agree with Yi.

Sound, form, shape, depth, colour, texture, contrast, olfactory stimulus etc etc are all perceptual phenomena. What happens out there in the real world don't really matter. What matters is what gets registered by the senses and tranformed into neural impulses that the brain interprets.

It all comes down to 'It's all about me. ME ME ME'.
